Hi,
When i am trying to use writeFile with getGlobal it is now working.
The mentioned file is present in the path and when i try ro append some test on it, it is now working.

_setGlobal("LogFile","C:\\Log_01Oct20.log");
_alert(_getGlobal("LogFile"));
_writeFile("Testing Attention Please\r\n" ,_getGlobal("LogFile"));

Error Message:
JSERROR Wrapped java.lang.NullPointerException

However when i use this: _writeFile("Testing Attention Please\r\n" ,"C:\\Log_01Oct20.log") its working.

    I am had tried using _debugToFile with get global and it is working properly but problem with that is it every time i use it, it inserts returen character at end. so if i have a typical scenario like below _write will be much better to use.

    _debugToFile("Testing" ,_getGlobal("LogFile"));
    Some statements
    _debugToFile("Attention" ,_getGlobal("LogFile"));
    Some more statements
    _debugToFile("Please\r\n" ,_getGlobal("LogFile"));

    The following should work
    var $myPath = "C:\\Log_01Oct20.log";

_writeFile("Testing", $myPath);
_writeFile("Attention", $myPath);
_writeFile("Please", $myPath);

    I cannot use this. I have 2 seperate SAH files say A and B. B is included in A. So when execution goes to B then this variable will not be assicible any more.

    Editing my original comment:

    1) The variable will be accessible even in included B, since included files are all flattened out into a single script by Sahi.
    2) _getGlobal and _setGlobal are not very useful since Sahi V2. Just define a variable and use it the way DP suggests. If it does not work, let us know.
